Today we caught the 9am train to
Granada, it was cloudy with light rain in Madrid and stayed cloudy for the
whole 4 hour trip but we were able to see a good bit of the countryside. It’s very green and quite mountainous once
you leave the high central plains, it’s also quite temperate. When we got to Grenada I left my jacket at
the hotel and only took a sweater for out afternoon walk in the old part of
town. This is a university town and
there are students all over the old town since it abuts on the north side. We walked through a series of small plazas
and eventually found a place to eat lunch.
For only the second time I have to say that lunch was okay; with the
only special about it being my first Spanish gazpacho. It was the most garlicky soup I’ve eaten so
far and was quite good. The
architecture in the old area is really quite interesting with much of it affiliated
with the university. Tomorrow is the
Alhambra!
